"Oh, it's him!" After hearing Lin Qingchen's words, Yun Ruoyan couldn't help taking a closer look at this man, seeing that he was very handsome and refined, it was difficult to connect him with the image of a bad gambler she had learned before.
"Che Xiucai." Lin Qingchen called out to the man. Ling Lan's elder brother was a scholar, so everyone in the pharmacy called him Che Xiucai.
The man looked up and saw a smile on Lin Qingchen's face, "Miss."
Lin Qingchen pulled Yun Ruoyan to the counter, Che Mingchen handed the bundled medicine package to the patient, turned around and said a few words to another medicine boy beside him, the medicine boy nodded and took his place, he Only then did he come out of the counter.
"Miss, you're here." Che Mingchen walked up to Lin Qingchen and Yun Ruoyan, respectfully.
"Let me introduce you." Lin Qingchen gestured to Che Mingchen, and said, "This is my cousin Yun Ruoyan."
Che Mingchen was slightly stunned, but he quickly came to his senses.
"I've heard my sister talk about the eldest lady in the morning, and I've always wanted to thank you personally."
Che Mingchen bowed deeply to Yun Ruoyan, if it wasn't for Yun Ruoyan, he would have been beaten into a disability by the gambling shop, and his old father would have died of a serious illness.
It's not an exaggeration to say that Yun Ruoyan has been kind to him for rebuilding.
"Thank you for your help, Miss. Otherwise, I would still be living in a state where neither humans nor ghosts exist, and my father and sister would be implicated." Che Mingchen's words were sincere and respectful.
"You don't need to be too polite, your sister also helped me a lot." Yun Ruoyan just smiled faintly, "I just saw that you did not look like a novice in grasping medicine."
"Missy is absurd."
Che Mingchen still replied respectfully: "Che is not talented, he has read a few medical books, and is quite familiar with medicinal materials. He has never gained fame from studying for many years, but his memory is quite good."
Yun Ruoyan was quite sour when he heard his words, she was like a literati, and she couldn't help but think of him playing Pai Gow with such a sour vigor in the casino, playing Pai Gow with such a sour vigor.
After chatting with Che Mingchen, Lin Qingchen brought Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao to the back hall.
The front hall is where ordinary people can see doctors and get medicines, while the back hall stores some expensive elixir and spiritual herbs, which are sold to some practitioners and alchemists.
Yun Ruoyan looked around, and saw that there were several kinds of spirit herbs in the list of medicinal materials that Jiujiu had given her, so she asked some prices and planned to buy them elsewhere.
The reason why Yun Ruoyan didn't get the medicine from Wanyaotang was that Lin Qingchen was too careful, she might not follow up and ask, but when she looked at Yun Ruoyan with her doubtful eyes, Yun Ruoyan couldn't help but want to ask her Tell the truth.
So it's better not to trouble yourself.
"Qingchen." Yun Ruoyan said to Lin Qingchen: "When I was free, I refined a few low-grade elixirs. I want to sell them. I don't know what the current market price is."
"Sister Ruoyan, are you short of money?"
"Ruoyan, are you short of money?"
Lin Qingchen and Yun Moxiao asked almost at the same time, if they were not very short of money or specialized in the elixir business, generally no one would sell elixir at will.
amount~
Very short!
"No, there is no shortage." Yun Ruoyan waved her hand hastily, "I just don't know the price of the elixir, so I am curious, and want to see how much the elixir I refined is worth. I also want to know about middle-grade and high-grade elixir the price of the medicine."
"Elixirs are generally priceless." Lin Qingchen said, "However, there is a place that sells some priceless treasures. There are not only low-grade and middle-grade elixir, but also high-grade elixir."
"Where?" Yun Ruoyan asked with flickering eyes.
"Siguo Auction House." Lin Qingchen replied, "It's at the foot of Kongming Mountain. I haven't been there with my grandfather for a long time."
"I've heard of that place in the army, but I haven't had the chance to go there yet." Yun Moxiao said, "Why don't we go and see it together."
It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. After Lin Qingchen arranged some things in the pharmacy, the three of them went to the Siguo Auction House immediately.
There is a villa at the foot of Kongming Mountain, named Yuelu Villa, and the Shikoku Auction House is located in this villa.
When Ah Fu drove the carriage to the gate of Yuelu Mountain Villa, the sun had already set and night fell.
Under the night, the Yuelu Mountain Villa is built on the mountain, very majestic and majestic. There are all kinds of magnificent carriages parked in front of the mountain villa, which is a lively scene.
Lin Qingchen got out of the car, and brought Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao into Yuelu Mountain Villa very familiarly.
A steward came forward and asked Yun Ruoyan and the others what they were doing here, and Lin Qingchen gave the steward a jade token.
When the steward saw the jade plaque, he immediately said hello to Miss Lin respectfully, and then led several people along the road into the backyard.
"Where are they going to be taken?" Yun Ruoyan asked Lin Qingchen softly when she saw that some people who entered Yuelu Mountain Villa with them were being led to different directions by different stewards.
"There are many other places in Yuelu Mountain Villa besides the Four Kingdoms Auction House." Lin Qingchen replied while walking, "The place they went to is not the Four Kingdoms Auction House."
Although Yun Ruoyan lived two lifetimes, she almost never stepped out of the family gate in the previous life. Before marrying Pei Ziao, she would occasionally go to the Lin family. After getting married, she gradually cut off contact with the Lin Yun family. Pei's yard stays at home.
Therefore, Yun Ruoyan was no less unfamiliar with the imperial city than Yun Moxiao.
"I once heard from my colleagues in the army that there is an arena in Yuelu Mountain Villa. I don't know if it is true." Yun Moxiao also asked softly.
Yun Moxiao's colleague is a young general with considerable status. According to him, the arena is full of bloody fights between slaves and monsters, which is very cruel and bloody.
While satisfying the audience's need for visual stimulation, you can also gamble by placing bets. In short, it is a very crazy place.
Yun Moxiao really wanted to go in and have a look.
"I don't know about that." Lin Qingchen replied: "When my grandfather and I came here, we only went to the auction house, but I heard from my grandfather that there are many hidden places in Yuelu Mountain Villa that ordinary people cannot enter."
While the few people were talking, they were taken to a courtyard. There was a small building in the courtyard, which was the Siguo Auction House.
The three of them walked into the small building, facing a magnificent and brightly lit hall.
There was a high platform in the middle of the hall. Lin Qingchen told the two that it was the auction platform, and all auction items would be exhibited and auctioned on that high platform in a while.
The three of them stood at the entrance. There were stairs on the left and right sides, leading to the private rooms on the two floors. There were roughly 20 private rooms on the upper and lower floors.
Yun Ruoyan looked around and saw that the private rooms on the first and second floors had no curtains, while the private rooms on the third floor had curtains to ensure privacy.
The private room on the second floor has the most people sitting, and there are some people on the first floor but not many. On the third floor, there are only two or three private rooms with curtains, and the rest are empty.
The manager asked if they were buying or auctioning, and Lin Qingchen replied that it was an auction.
The manager signaled to follow him, and they followed the manager along the stairs to the last room of the passage on the first floor.
Someone in the room is counting the items that will be auctioned later.
When asked about the owner of the item, Yun Ruoyan asked Lin Qingchen to report the name of the Lin family.
Lin Qingchen had no objection, and it was the first time Yun Ruoyan learned that for the auction of elixir, the title of pharmacist had added value.
It was also a low-grade elixir, but with the name of the Lin family, its starting price was more than double that of the same elixir from an unknown alchemist.
Yun Ruoyan had three Huntian Pills in her hand, two good ones and one high quality one. Because of using the name of the Lin family, Yun Ruoyan took out the best Huntian pill.
"A low-grade elixir medicine called Huntian Pill." A woman in charge of testing the medicine said, "It's an excellent product, and the starting price is ten taels of gold."
The man in charge of recording put away Yun Ruoyan's two elixir boxes, handwritten a document, and pushed it in front of Lin Qingchen.
Twelve taels of gold!
Yun Ruoyan couldn't help but tremble in her heart. Although her current monthly bill has been increased several times in a row, it is only ten taels of silver!
Such a low-grade panacea turned out to be a hundred times her monthly routine! No wonder it is said that pharmacist is the most wealthy profession on Shen Yuan Continent, and if this continues, he will no longer be afraid of lack of money.
The three of them looked at the document and felt that there was no problem.
Lin Qingchen took out the jade card that he had shown the steward at the beginning, and used the bottom of the jade card to stamp a bright red seal on the document, with the words Lin Family Wan Yaotang on the seal.
After a series of formalities were completed, several people were told that the item would be the third item to be auctioned tonight.
After that, several people came down to a box on the first floor under the leadership of the steward.
"Several people later, when all the people who made an appointment are here, the auction will start immediately." After the steward finished speaking, he left the private room.
The three of them sat in the private room and waited for the auction to start.
"Qingchen, did you and your grandfather come here often?" Yun Ruoyan asked seeing that Lin Qingchen was quite familiar with the procedures here.
"When I was seven or eight years old, I often came here with my grandfather to auction off the elixir at home."
Lin Qingchen replied: "At that time, my grandfather hadn't given up looking for my parents and my second uncle. He spent a lot of money on the search in the Shenyuan Continent, but he gave up after seeing no hope."
At that time, Lin Zainan had already dispersed more than half of his property, and the Lin family had already begun to decline.
After hearing Lin Qingchen's words, both Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao were silent for a while.
In the silence, Yun Ruoyan suddenly felt a gaze looking at her. She subconsciously raised her head to look for it, but she didn't find that gaze. She just found an empty box on the third floor opposite. silhouette.
Immediately afterwards, many people came one after another. Most of the people who came sat on the second floor, not many on the first floor, and very few on the third floor.
Yun Ruoyan didn't know the reason, so she asked Lin Qingchen.
Lin Qingchen told her that the auctioneers sat on the first floor, the buyers on the second floor, and the third floor was specially prepared for some special people on Shen Yuan Continent.
Such people, whether buying or selling, can sit in the private rooms on the third floor.
"Ding~"
At this time, on the high platform in the center of the hall, a handsome-looking man in blue robe rang the small copper bell on the platform. The copper bell was not big, but the sound it made was extremely clear, echoing throughout the hall. .
"Everyone be quiet." The man in the blue robe said, "Tonight's auction starts now."
